“And now, for something completely different”

Our next VillageMusic Soirée promises to be a toe-tapping trip into the world of Jan Preston. Jan is yet another of our finest musicians that have found international recognition and a degree of fame. Jan is the ‘real deal’.

Playing as a trio for the evening, the old hall will be reverberating for sure. Here’s what a slice of Jan’s bio has to say:

“Jan Preston is known as Australasia’s Queen of boogie piano, and her latest CD release bears testament to that. She is a magnetic live performer and astonishing piano player with a rich,  resonant voice. Her original songs, compositions and mastery of boogie-woogie captivate audiences at festivals and in concerts around the world.   Winner of 5 music awards, Jan writes music for film and TV, such as her sister Dame Gaylene Preston’s film My Year with Helen. From her  background in classical music,Jan has created her own style, not only through her piano playing, but also her singing and songwriting, which now sees her shine as a truly Antipodean original.”

We’ve enjoyed listening to virtuoso pianists at VillageMusic, but not like this. This evening will be fun listening for sure.

As always, bring friends, bring family, bring your ears and BYO. See you at the door.
